The Humane Society of the United States and the Humane Society Legislative Fund praise the Texas Senate for approving a measure that will reduce the number of childhood poisonings and save tens of thousands of animals each year by requiring that a bittering agent be added to antifreeze sold in the state.

Animal advocates from across the state rallied at the state capitol in Honolulu for Humane Lobby Day 2011, sponsored by The HSUS and co-hosted by the Hawaiian, Kauai, Maui and Hawaii Island Humane Societies.
